Thank you for your reply.
I am currently using, as a server, a workstation computer. It was built
with a gigabyte motherboard and has 8G ram and a 1000G Sata 3 drive.
It is accessed with ssh and runs an ftp server, a web server and a samba
server so my wife can back up her pc to it. It is running behind a router.
This computer more than meets my needs as a lightweight server except
the hardware is dying and I want to replace it.
The question in my mind is: should I just buy another workstation class
motherboard and duplicate what I already have or buy a motherboard which
is intended to be used as a server?
Thank you,
Joe
